Package: console-setup Version: 1.89 Severity: important Coin,After looking at #694156, i wondered how the keymap would be wrongly set. I guessed it would affect other situations and wondered what would happen if i decided to change the c-s settings.
I unpacked /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae, wrote aside the md5sum of etc/boottime.kmap.gz. I then changed the c-s settings (dpkg-reconfigure), did the process again, and the sum was unchanged. If I then run update-initramfs -u -k all myself, redid the process, and the sum is changed.
In the postinst code, or in setupcon i cannot see anything related to the initramfs. I fail to see how it is supposed to be updated. I believe dpkg-trigger update-initramfs should be called in postinst, either unconditionally, or at least when non-defaut settings are used. This would probably help #694156 as well.
